<p>For a liberal arts oriented - psych, art, education, mostly undecided - student, what would you recommend? D was accepted to the following schools, and is having trouble deciding:</p>
<p>Fordham
Dickinson
U Maryland
U Conn
U Mass
Ursinus
St Marys College of MD</p>
<p>What is the financial situation? Are all of these equally affordable? Are any in-state for you?</p>
<p>Which has your D visited? Did she have a preference for a big place or a smaller place? Closer to home or farther from home?</p>
<p>St. Mary's College of MD is a public honors college. That means that the price is the same as U MD, but the classes are smaller, and the environment is similar to private liberal arts colleges. If my kid could get in there I would be thrilled to pieces!</p>
<p>That said, I've known more than one kid who got in there and at U MD and decided they really wanted to go to the bigger school instead.</p>
<p>at [url=<a href="http://www.admissionsadvice.com%5Dadmissionsadvice.com%5B/url">http://www.admissionsadvice.com]admissionsadvice.com[/url</a>] there is an article about making the final choice of college with a link to a decision-making tool. You could look at that and see if it helps her.</p>
<p>I truly wish you all the best.</p>
